#17.35 kg#

Explanation:

Since the object is experiencing a downward force, the acceleration the object feels is due to gravity which is #9.8# #m/s^2#.

Weight is just a Force expressed in #New#tons# or #kg#m/s^2#

#Weight# = #mass# * #9.8# #m/s^2#

170 #kg# * #m/s^2# = #kg# * #9.8# #m/s^2#

Isolate to get mass by itself and solve.
